Also interesting is the feeling you get from these paragraphs that they're disgusted with the Queen Building next door. They would like to see it demolished and replaced with a parking lot.
Quote:
Queen Building
The use of this building does not conform to the Wascana Centre Act, and
its appearance also does not conform to the high quality of architectural
design demanded of other structures in the Centre. It is owned by the
Department of National Defence and therefore not bound by Provincial
statutes.
If a new building is proposed for this site, it should have a more generous
setback from Broad Street and be of sufficiently high quality to justify
its commanding position. Alternatively, and as shown, the site could be
developed as parking to serve adjacent recreation areas. Wascana Drive
could be modified to extend the area of park next to the lakeshore.
